the main reason of price hike is: air carrrier cut many flights in the past year due to lower passenger numbers. they have not recovered the number of flights this year though passengers have increased.
i did searched on delta.com, continental.com, etc. and found there are certain flights priced around $1050 but the time and schedule are not flexible.
is there anyone who have considered buying points from some frequent fliers for a cheaper fare? any story on that? I read worldjournal.com that says some Chinese are doing that now. Not sure of its results. If someone knows, please share with us.
